Kingpins

Kingpins

Like any legitimate business, criminal organizations operate using a hierarchy of underlings, operatives and decision makers. And there's one person at the very top, pulling the strings - the kingpin. But how do they make it there? Filmmaker Ben Zand explores the steps taken to reach the pinnacle of a crime gang, the vicious behavior required to stay there and the constant threats they face.
